I have pared down my packing to a tiny backpack thanks to your sage advice. Its fun to see how much i can eliminate and still feel like I have enough. I stopped wearing makeup 10 years ago and I’m fine with it. I do bring a set of Velcro rollers for my hair and I bring a few colors of nail polish and cotton and remover. Im particularly fond of turquoise, coral and an off white pink. Im down to 2 pairs of pants, 3 shirts, a sweatshirt, socks, sneakers, flipflops, and my denim jacket. It is enough. I have a small purse that I got in Hawaii. Thank you so much!

I am about to start packing in the next few days for a 2 1/2 mth trip with my husband (we took early retirement and are travelling as much as we can, and still maintaining life back at home). Last fall we did carry on and back pack only, for 3mths. I was proud of us but I feel I could do better to make it nicer for me/us. It's not just so a person can say, I only travel with x amount. I want it to make travel easier. We have a lot of flights and moves we're making in our first month in Turkey. Less to carry and manage makes it so much easier. Thank you SO much!

Regarding a scarf, it can warm your neck if it's cold, protect your head or shoulders from the sun, your head from the rain, your clothes when you sit somewhere. It can be carried tied to your bag or around your waist. If you wash it, make sure you chose one that dries fast. So, takes little space and can be used for lots of stuff.

Silk and Merino wool are my favorites, too. I had a mid priced pack that seemed to check all the boxes... until the zipper broke. Since then I've carried Osprey, REI, and like brands, intended for actual backpackers. They're light weight and very sturdy. Once, all the overhead bins were full, and I had to gate check my carry-on. I was so glad that I had a rugged, Osprey ultra-light pack.

@SarahMurdochadventures 2 жыл бұрын

Which Osprey pack do you have? I looked at all of their models I could find and they all seemed heavy.

@leapintothewild 2 жыл бұрын

Osprey is my go-to for backpacking but can get heavy. If you check out thru-hiker blogs and videos, you’ll find lots of cottage brands producing wildly popular bags that weigh mere ounces yet durable enough for 2000k mile trips on rough trails! And many are custom made to your specs, with your choice of belts, straps, pockets, padding, volume, etc. Just search for ultralight backpack and pay attention to reviews by hikers on the AT (Appalachian Trail), PCT (Pacific Crest Trail), CDT (Continental Divide Trail), etc - especially vids and blogs when they review gear AFTER they’ve finished for brutal feedback.

Ill share a tip with the viewers who like to carry camera gear and also have to bring along a cpap machine. This is a real conundrum for me for packing light. While in italy 3 years ago, i figured out that my cpap bag doubles great as a camera bag for daily outings! Lenses and bodies fit in there since its all padded and theres room to carry little souvenirs. I noticed that nobody was interested in pickpocketing a cpap bag! I also wore a scarf with hidden zip pocket where i kept all my valuables. I simply turned the cpap bag with zipper facing my body and it was fabulous. The only thing is packing your camera gear properly inside your backpack which you can do with travel towels, sweater etc. tiny prime lenses can go in tube socks. Its not fancy but it worked well for me!

It's standard for me to wear waterproof shoes and have a raincoat, but I rarely bring an umbrella. If we really need one, we can buy a cheap one on vacation. I'd say the best advice for traveling in Ireland and Amsterdam in September is to layer. And wear real shoes.

Hi Sarah, awesome information & very well presented. I travel quite a bit as well & you have given me a lot of ideas of stuff to look for to streamline my current gear. I'm very curious about 2 things though. How do you wash all of your silk items while you're on the road & how well does silk breathe? I've only owned one silk shirt & it was like wearing a really expensive plastic bag for how well air flowed through it. Is it more a function of the silk thread itself or the weave or something else? How has your experience been with using mostly silk? Thanks for any info & cheers from a fellow traveler!

Sarah, few months ago someone mentioned using Osprey bags, and you asked which kind... if you are interested, Maggi Fuchs also packs very light and she just put out a video about her progression. She is now using an Osprey Arcane Duffel... part of their Arcane series. It is 30 liters and pretty light. I wish it were a tad smaller, more underseat size, because it looks well made. Happy travels, Lynne

@anneinauckland2318 Жыл бұрын

That Osprey bag is brilliant! I bought one after seeing Maggi’s video about it. It opens suitcase style, so easy to pack, but quite lightweight. Very important on flights with a maximum combined weight of 7kg for carry on and personal item, which is often the case within and between New Zealand & Australia

@lynneeie5226 Жыл бұрын

@@anneinauckland2318 My husband and I bought them after one trip with our backpacks, because we had "stuff" spread all over, and the suitcase style just keeps everything together and easier to deal with. We love them! And I agree, the weight matters. We used them on Lufthansa and Condor, with a PC bag as our shared underseat personal item. But for RyanAir, we have Fjellraven Kånken Laptop 13s, which are small, but we used one, shared, for an overnight trip, so I think it will work for European flights with Ryan Air. And, I am planning to use it this summer as my personal item next to the Osprey. So I might have the "perfect for us" system now, maybe?! 😂🤞🏻

Thanks for the recommendation on the super light underwear. I keep the total of my luggage under 8 kilos (roughly 17.6 lbs) but I do use a slightly larger backpack or a roller. Having a bag that's so completely full means I need to tetris everything any time I want to grab something. Just way too annoying for me. Plus gives me some space to dump some of the things I'd have in my personal item on a plane but that I don't need to have on my walking around wherever I'm visiting.

This is such a good point. When I travel with a bag that has a little room to spare it's like a breath of fresh air!
